Space Gate Odyssey

Players lead rival Confederations building orbital stations and sending settlers through space gates to newly discovered exoplanets. On each turn, players choose and place station modules, arrange airlocks, corridors and gates, and manage the flow of settlers to optimize which planetary landing spots they reach. Planets unlock in sequence as they become fully colonized, changing scoring opportunities and available destinations. Scoring comes from settlers placed on favorable planetary sites, influence from module domains aligned with the final Hawking planet, and penalties for exposed corridors. The game supports 2–4 players and emphasizes spatial planning, flow management, and timing.
